Second Sunday in Lent (Cycle B)
Pastor’s Corner
This Sunday brings us a message of love. One that fills us with enthusiasm. God
loved us first, and His love is eternally faithful. Now we know that our life is
leading us to a wonderful end; to the arms of God, our Father.
The letter of St. Paul which we hear in the second reading fills us with
confidence and joy. “If God is for us, who can be against us? God did not spare
his own Son but handed him over for us all, how will He not also give us
everything else along with Him? Who will bring a charge against God’s chosen
ones? What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will anguish, or distress, or
persecution, or famine, or nakedness or peril, or the sword?” Our heart rejoices
because in the Eucharist we have the supreme revelation of the love of God.
God loves us, and His love is unconditional and with no regrets. In the Eucharist,
God loves us to the point of giving us His only Son as food and nourishment for
life.
Segundo Domingo de Cuaresma (Ciclo B)
Rincón del Párroco
Este domingo nos trae un mensaje de amor. Y nos entusiasma. Dios nos amó
primero y el amor de Dios es eternamente fiel. Ahora sabemos que en nuestra
vida vamos hacia un final maravilloso; hacia los brazos de nuestro Padre, Dios.
“¿No podían velar una hora
conmigo?” (Mc. 14, 37)
ADORACIÓN EUCARÍSTICA
LOS JUEVES DURANTE TODO
EL DÍA EN LA IGLESIA
De 8:30 am a 7:00 pm
La carta del Apóstol San Pablo que escuchamos en la segunda lectura nos llena
de confianza y alegría. “Si Dios está a favor de nosotros, ¿quién puede estar
contra nosotros? Dios no nos negó ni a Su propio Hijo sino que lo entregó a la
muerte por todos nosotros; ¿cómo no nos dará también con Su Hijo todas las
cosas? ¿Quién puede acusar a los que Dios ha escogido? ¿Quién pues nos podrá
separar del amor de Cristo? Acaso podrá hacerlo el sufrimiento, o las
dificultades, o la persecución, o el hambre, o la falta de ropa, o el peligro, o la
muerte?” Nuestro corazón se alegra porque en la Eucaristía tenemos la
manifestación suprema del amor de Dios. Dios nos ama y su amor es sin
condiciones y sin arrepentimientos. En la Eucaristía, Dios nos ama hasta
entregarnos a Su Hijo único como alimento de vida.

St. Hugh
Saints this Week/Santos de la Semana
March 7, Saints Perpetua and Felicity (believed
to have died 203) are Christian martyrs of the 3rd
century. Perpetua was a married noblewoman, said
to have been 22 years old at the time of her death,
and mother of an infant she was nursing. Felicity, a
slave imprisoned with her and pregnant at the time,
was martyred with her. They were put to death
along with others at Carthage in the Roman
province of Africa.
The Passion of St. Perpetua, St. Felicitas, and their Companions is one of the oldest and most
notable early Christian texts. It survives in both Latin and Greek forms, and purports to
contain the actual prison diary of the young mother and martyr Perpetua. Scholars
generally believe that it is authentic.
Marzo 7, Santas Perpetua y Felicidad mártires del siglo tercero, alrededor del año 203.
Perpetua, mujer noble de 22 años, casada y madre de un bebé al que amamantaba. Felicidad,
su esclava, estaba embarazada y fue martirizada junto con ella. Sufrieron la muerto junto con
varios otros en Cártago, en la privincia romana de África.
La Pasión de Santa Perpetua, Santa Felicidad y sus compañeros es uno de los textos
cristianos más antiguos y notables. Sobrevive tanto en griego como en latín y dice contener el
diario que escribió en su prisión la joven madre y mártir Perpetua. Los estudiosos lo consideran
auténtico.

The POPE SPEAKS/HABLA EL PAPA
Lenten Message, 2015
In order to receive what God gives us and to make it bear abundant fruit, we need
to press beyond the boundaries of the visible Church in two ways.
In the first place, by uniting ourselves in prayer with the Church in heaven. The
prayers of the Church on earth establish a communion of mutual service and
goodness which reaches up into the sight of God. Together with the saints who
have found their fulfilment in God, we form part of that communion in which
indifference is conquered by love.
In the second place, every Christian community is called to go out of itself and to be
engaged in the life of the greater society of which it is a part, especially with the
poor and those who are far away.
Mensaje de Cuaresma, 2015
Para recibir y hacer fructificar plenamente lo que Dios nos da es preciso superar los
confines de la Iglesia visible en dos direcciones.
En primer lugar, uniéndonos a la Iglesia del cielo en la oración. Cuando la Iglesia
terrenal ora, se instaura una comunión de servicio y de bien mutuos que llega ante
Dios. Junto con los santos, que encontraron su plenitud en Dios, formamos parte de
la comunión en la cual el amor vence la indiferencia.
Por otra parte, toda comunidad cristiana está llamada a cruzar el umbral que la
pone en relación con la sociedad que la rodea, con los pobres y los alejados.

History
Wax Museum
History
came
to
life
on
Thursday,
February 19th as the St. Hugh middle
school students held the first St. Hugh
History Wax Museum. There were many
different prominent historical figures on
display. The students who had been
researching a historical character for
three months prior to the event, were
dressed in full costume for the night. They
gave informative presentations to the
parents and guest and even had props on
hand to aid them with their projects. At
the end of the night, students received
awards
for
best
display
and
best
presentation. They all did a wonderful job.
We are very proud of them.
Black History Month
In honor of Black History Month, St. Hugh School has been teaching our students about the
African-Americans in history who have impacted our country. The elementary students
focused on subjects including inventors, musicians, poets, scientist, architects, and more.
Students were assigned a famous black American from the past or present and were asked to
research information about them to complete an assignment. The results were amazing and
the projects were put on display in the school hall for all to see. Even our preschoolers
joined in by creating a multi-cultural handprint quilt that was hung near the art room.
The lessons and projects provided students with an interactive and informative way for
celebrating the important contributions African Americans have made to our nation.

St. Hugh
Lenten Pretzels
In preparation for the season of Lent, the third grade
students have been learning about the importance of
prayer. Recently they listened to the legend of the pretzel
and how a monk formed dough into thin strips crossed
into a looped twist like the folded arms of children in
prayer. The legend states that the monk would give these
treats to children who had learned their prayers.
After listening to the story, the students had the
opportunity to create and bake their very own pretzels.
Celebrating
70 years of
Consecrated Life
On January 31st, Archbishop Thomas Wenski celebrated a Mass at St. Mary Cathedral in
recognition of the World Day of Consecrated Life. During the mass, Sister Mary Pat Hale
was honored on her 70th year of religious life. Sister Mary Pat was the middle school math
teacher at St. Hugh for 16 years before her retirement in 2001. She is still very active and
remains one of our substitute teachers. Congratulations to her and to the other six
religious that were honored at this special mass. May God continue to bless them.
